Compare symmetrical and asymmetrical balance.
Symmetrical balance has equal visual weight on both sides; asymmetrical balance has unequal visual weight but is still balanced.
Compare Scale and Proportion.
Scale is how elements relate in size to the whole, while proportion is the relative size of parts within an object.
Compare Movement and Rhythm.
Movement is about the eye path, while rhythm is about the visual beat.
Compare Connection and Juxtaposition.
Connection places similar objects together, while juxtaposition places different objects together.
Compare reversible and ambiguous figure/ground relationships.
Reversible figure/ground means foreground and background compete for attention, while ambiguous means elements function as both figure and ground simultaneously.
Define Opacity/Transparency.
The degree to which design objects can be seen through, creating depth and layering.
Define Value in art.
The lightness or darkness of a color.
Define Contrast in art.
The intensity of difference between values.
Define Rhythm in design.
The visual tempo created by the spaces between elements; repetition of patterns.
Define Movement in design.
Creating the illusion of motion or guiding the viewer's eye through the artwork using lines, shapes, and colors.
Define Scale in design.
How different elements relate in size to each other within the whole composition.
Define Proportion in design.
The relative size of parts within a single object.
Define Emphasis in design.
Making one area of your design stand out and draw the viewer's attention.
Define Repetition in design.
Using an object or objects over and over in the same manner.
Define Hierarchy in design.
Arranging visual information to show importance.
Define Juxtaposition in design.
Placing objects together to highlight their differences.
Define Connection in design.
Placing objects together to show their similarities.
How does playing with opacity affect a design?
Creates depth, overlapping effects, and a sense of mystery.
What is the effect of high contrast in a design?
Creates visual interest and emphasizes certain areas.
How can time be implied in a composition?
Through repetition, motion lines, or changes in form.
What is the purpose of creating a focal point in art?
To guide the viewer's eye and convey the artist's message.
What does a stable figure/ground relationship imply?
A clear distinction between foreground and background.
What does an ambiguous figure/ground relationship imply?
Elements function as both figure and ground simultaneously.
